General information about SPICE FRAMES kernels
==============================================

   In the SPICE system, the FRAMES kernel (FK) contains information
   required to define reference frames used in a particular mission. This
   information includes sources of orientation and origin location for
   these frames and inter-connections between these frames and other
   frames supported within the SPICE system.

   The frame definitions information contained in the FK files can be used
   by a collection of subroutines that are part of the SPICELIB library,
   the major component of the NAIF Toolkit. These subroutines can be
   integrated into user application programs. Information about obtaining
   the SPICE Toolkit is located in the "software" subdirectory of the
   main directory of this dataset.

   Refer to the Frames Required Reading (frames.req) document provided
   with the toolkit or available from the NAIF Node of the PDS, to get
   more information on how to access FK data.


Cassini FRAMES Kernels contained in this directory
==================================================

   The following Frames Kernel files are included on this volume:
   
        cas_v[VER].tf        Frames kernel files containing
                             definitions for the Cassini spacecraft,
                             its science instruments, and antennae.

        cas_rocks_v[VER].tf  Frames kernel files containing
                             definitions for small satellites (rocks)
                             of Saturn.
 
        cas_dyn_v[VER].tf    Frames kernel files containing definitions
                             of a few dynamic frames used by various
                             project science and engineering teams.

        cas_mimi_v[VER].tf   Frames kernel files containing definitions
                             of various frames used by the MIMI team,
                             APL.

   When multiple FK files of the same kind are present, the one with
   the latest version ([VER]) supersedes all previous versions.


Kernel file details
===================

   The most detailed description of the data in an FK file is provided in
   metadata included inside the descriptive text area of the file. This
   information can be viewed using any text editor.
